Experiment #7: Type System as Constraint - Monorepo Migration Through Systematic Reduction

Four properties (.io, .space, .agency, .ltd) existed independently with 196 TypeScript errors. Hypothesis: Treat type errors as design constraints, not problems. Method: Categorize errors (marked library, SEO, types, assertions), fix patterns not files, build incrementally. Results: 164 errors eliminated, 4 properties deployed, 3-hour migration. Validates Rams' "less, but better" - unified architecture through disciplined reduction.
